As with all electrical equipment, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the printer: • Read the setup and operating instructions carefully. Be sure to save them for future reference. • Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer itself. • Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. • Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put in on something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged; if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat. • To protect your printer from overheating, make sure no openings on the printer are blocked. Do not put the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register. If you put the printer in any kind of enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated. • The printhead can get quite hot when it has been printing for a length of time. Do not touch the printhead until it has had a chance to cool off. • Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it. • Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with your dealer or with your local power company. • Your printer has a earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature, and it will only fit into a earthed outlet. If you can not plug it in, chances are that you have an older, non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have it replaced with a earthed outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing. • The outlet into which you plug your printer must remain easily accessible at all times. • To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately. • If you are using an extension cable or power strip with the printer, make sure that the total of the amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s Help Guide 3390hlp2.pm6 i 1 22/03/96, 16:04 English Safety rating. Generally, the total ratings of all equipment plugged into any one power line should not exceed 13 amperes. Do not exceed this unless you know that the power line your equipment is plugged into has a rating above 13 amperes. Do not poke anything into the ventilation slots on the sides of the printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire. • Aside from the routine maintenance described in the manuals, don’t try to service the printer yourself; opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards. Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the manual, you might cause damage requiring extensive repair work. • If anything happens that indicates that your printer is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and contact your Oki dealer for service. These are some of the things to look for: English • • The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged. • Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the printer has been exposed to water. • The printer has been dropped or its cabinet has been damaged. • The printer doesn’t function normally when you are following the operating instructions. ii 3390hlp2.pm6 ML3320/21 2 22/03/96, 16:04 Safety .................................................................................. i Print Mode: Control Panel Keys...................................... 12 Maintenance ....................................................................... 1 Selecting the Print Quality and Font ............................... 13 Replacing the Ribbon Cartridge ........................................ 1 Selecting the Character Pitch .......................................... 14 Clearing Paper Jams .......................................................... 2 Menu Mode: Control Panel ............................................. 14 Rear-Feed Jams ................................................................. 2 Entering and Exiting the Menu Mode ............................. 15 Correcting Repetitive Rear-Feed Jams .............................. 4 Resetting the Menu .......................................................... 15 Single-Sheet Jams .............................................................. 6 Printing the Menu Settings .............................................. 15 Cleaning the Housing ........................................................ 7 Summary of Menu Settings ............................................. 16 Troubleshooting ................................................................. 8 Explanations of Menu Items ............................................ 19 Using Your Printer ........................................................... 11 Paper Park Feature ........................................................... 22 Print Mode: Indicator Lights ........................................... 11 Specifications ................................................................... 23 Index ................................................................................ 27 Help Guide 3390hlp2.pm6 iii 3 22/03/96, 16:04 English Contents English iv 3390hlp2.pm6 ML3320/21 4 22/03/96, 16:04 English Maintenance 3.

Solution: Check the power cable connection the outlet and to your printer. If you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned on, and that the fuse has not blown nor the circuit breaker tripped. Problem: I'm getting strange symbols, incorrect fonts, etc., when I try to print a document. Solution: (1) Problem: The printer does not print when data is sent. Solutions: (1) Is the SEL light on? If not, press the SEL key. (2) Check that the interface cable is securely connected to both the computer and the printer. (3) If you have the optional serial interface board installed, check to be sure that it is firmly seated in the printer. (2) Check to be sure that the printer driver you have selected in your software matches the printer emulation. (Press SHIFT and SEL keys, then press GROUP key: this will print a line showing the emulation you have selected.) If you have embedded any printer commands in your software, check to be sure that you entered them correctly. Problem: I've installed a new ribbon and the printing is smeared and streaked. Solution: The ribbon shield is either loose or missing. Remove the ribbon cartridge and check the clear plastic ribbon shield: if it's loose, secure it in place, if it is missing, find it and reinstall it. 8 3390hlp3.pm6 ML3390/91 8 22/03/96, 16:05 Problem: My word processor files don't print the way I have the menu and front panel set. Solution: This indicates a paper jam. Press the SEL key Solution: Before sending a file to the printer, many word and correct the paper jam situation ( see “Clearing processors send either an “initialization string” Paper Jams” in this manual). or an I-Prime signal to the printer. Problem: The ALARM light is on and the Character Pitch 10 light is flashing. Solution: This indicates that the paper lever is set at the wrong position for the paper you are trying to use: move it to the proper setting. Problem: The ALARM light is blinking. Solution: Try turning the printer off and then back on again. If the light still blinks, call for service. Problem: The printer needs paper, but the ALARM light is not on and I can't load the paper. The initialization string contains codes that override the panel and menu settings. To change your printer to ignore the reset code, enter the Menu Mode, go down to the Set-Up group and change the setting for Reset Inhibit to Yes (see “Changing the Menu Settings” in this manual). The I-Prime signal will automatically override any front panel settings you have made. To eliminate this problem, enter the Menu Mode, go down to the Parallel Interface group and change the setting for I Prime to Invalid (see “Changing the Menu Settings” in this manual). Solution: Press and release the SEL key, then hold the SHIFT key and press the RESET (CHARACTER PITCH) key: this resets the printer. Help Guide 3390hlp3.pm6 9 9 22/03/96, 16:05 English Problem: The ALARM light is on and the Character Pitch 15 light is flashing. Problem: The Print Quality and Character Pitch keys on the front panel won't work. Solution: The Operator Panel Function in the printer menu can be used to disable these buttons. If the printer is part of a customized system or if it is used by a number of people, the system manager may have used this option to make sure the printer is always set properly. Problem: Continuous-form paper is sticking to the paper separator. Solution: In cold dry weather, static charges can build up and make the paper cling to the paper separator. Try moving the paper guides together so that the paper rests on the guides rather than on the separator. Problem: Ink smears on paper. Solution: This may be caused by excessive printhead travel from the centring position when printing narrow columns. Set Centring Position to MODE 1. On ML3391 also try MODE 2. (See Menu Mode). 10 3390hlp3.pm6 ML3390/91 10 22/03/96, 16:05 English Using Your Printer Print Mode: Indicator Lights ➍ ➋ ➊ PRINT QUALITY LQ SEL SEL MENU EXIT POWER SHIFT LF FF/LOAD Micro Feed Down Micro Feed Up GROUP ITEM ALARM TEAR PARK QUIET TOF SET MENU PRINT UTILITY CHARACTER PITCH 10 17 ➎ ➌ ➊ SEL ..............
